Opening of the Public Schools.

The various departments of the
public schools of this place opened
on Monday. The teachers were all
in their places from the Principal
down. The attendance was not as
large as it will be later.
The opening of the school is an
epock in the history of the small
boy. He does not like to lay aside
his fishing rods and wrestle with
dry lessons. He bemoans the loss
of his liberty. He can no more be-
take himself to the river for half
day and return with his shirt on
wrong side out and half dozen
great sun blisters on his back.
The future is dark and gloomy
before him. He must get up early
and submit to the awful, torturous
ordeal of having his face washed and
his hair combed.
Truly he is in a deplorable condi-
ton. No more for weary months
can he spend the day at base ball
He hasn't even time to make raid
on neighbours orchard
The sun of his vacation has set
admid a cloud of books, states, maps,
copies and black boards. Notwith-
standing his unhappy frame of mind
now, we trust his teacher will be
able to show him the Importance of
dismissing his dread of school and
getting him interested in his lessons.
The small boy is the hope of the
country. He must be educated and
taught the Importance of preparing
himself to take his pace in the
world in few years.
The small boy is an object of in
terest. Upon the success of the
work of his teacher depends a great
deal. In the schools of this place
the small boy is made of as good
material as can be found were the
world searched over, and we expect
great things from him in the future.
May he grow into the confidence
and good graces Of his teacher and
may both close this year with con
seriousness Of having done good
years work.

These figures are taken from the
Coal Trade Journal of September
Z, 1887, and can be relied upon as
actual market figures.
The ovens at Austen, Newburo
and Nemegyei's, in the Preston coal
field, are making coke that produces
as fine results in iron manufacturing
as anything in the Connellsville re-
gion. The same is equally true at
Montana, on the F. M. & p. r r.
All these ovens are run to their full
est capacity and could sell ten times
as much if the ovens were increased.
And yet strangers visiting this place
are daily told by some of our citi-
zens that there is nothing to justify
building the West Virginia Rail
road-nothing in Preston county to
furnish business. There are about
$4,000 acres of coal lands that will
be traversed by the road, situate be-
tween Cheat river and the B. & O.
road, and between the ridges that
bound the Preston glades.
The upper Freeport'' coal, mined
and cooked at Austen and Nemegyei's,
and the Lower Kittanning," mined
in the shaft at Newburg, underlie
this whole area; while the Councils
vile basin embraced less than 49,
900 acres when first opened, and has
been exhausting at the rate of 1000
acres per year, and contains but the
one workable seam. 1t yields a
traffic of nearly 100000 of tons of
coke alone to the Southwest Pa R.
X. besides coal, and coal and coke
to a large amount to the B. Il O. and
the p, Mex. & Y. r. r. The first
named embraces so miles, including
many spurs and short branches, and
pays per cent. interest on bonded
debt of 100000 and 10 per cent div
idends on about 100000 of stock,
and carries each year to construc-
ton and improvement account a
sum equal to half it's capital stock,
with two parallel and competing
lines tapping the same trade and
dividing it. The same opposition
characterized it's building as now
confronts the West Virginia railroad.
Uniontown fifteen or twenty years
ago was as much a finished and dead
town as Morgantown to all appear
ances. But the coal and coke trade
and three railroads have revolution
lied the place. The population is
now we'll up to ten thousand. Hun
dreds of new houses and buildings
go up yearly, manufactures thrive,
natural gas, water works, telephone
lines and all the modern evidences
of wealth and prosperity prevail.
But the people have all pulled to-
gether. They have united in adver-

Goals, ores, &c.
Another big item is this: Coke
can be shipped from Morgantown to
Chicago cheaper than it can be from
tho Connellsville region.
Shall we initiate them and enjoy
like prosperity, or in our childish
envy and fear that some of our
neighbors will have a larger profit
than ourselves in the era of coming
development, try to hold all down to
the dead level of a common poverty?

West Virginia Coal and Coke.

While a lot of fogies and croakers
in this vicinity are aiding the efforts
of the owners of Connellsville coal
and coke to create the impression
that West Virginia has no coal
worth mining, and can produce no
coke that is to be mentioned in com
parison with the Connellsville arti-

coal is selling at higher rate in
